iMicro

The iMicro nanoindenter is an accurate, flexible and easy-to-use instrument that allows a wide range of nanomechanical tests to be performed, including module and hardness (Oliver and Pharr, ISO 14577), storage and loss module and universal testing. The iMicro can exert up to 1 N of force to test hard materials, even at higher loads and greater depths. An optional 50 mN force actuator can be used to configure the iMicro for testing soft materials, and an optional 2D actuator for tribology, lateral force and other advanced research measurements requiring force/displacement determination along two axes.
